ipod mini: "Rockbox error -1" when trying to uninstall

<< < (2/4) > >>

Chronon:
It seems as though all you did was delete the .rockbox folder and the rockbox.ipod file.  Clearly you didn't remove the bootloader.  Were you able to boot into the Apple firmware prior to your "uninstall"?

shrek:
i dont think so...it went straight to rockbox.
When i launched the uninstall application...it successfully uninstalled...however, after this,  i accidently plugged the ipod out of the computer without stopping the hardware first.
Could this have been a reason why it didnt work???....the software had already uninsalled.
when i turn on the ipod now....the error screen comes up and will keep restarting until a while....maybe 20 minutes
or so....and i cant really use the ipod now.

Please help!

scorche:
Uhhh...uninstall application?  We don't have such a program.  Where did you get it?

And as you were told before, you have not replaced the bootloader.  As I said, the instructions for that are next to the installation instructions.

shrek:
Hi, sorry this is whta its called
"Rockbox Installer X bootloader (rockbox OR loader2) uninstaller"

um...im not sure where these instructions are as all the files are deleted...but there is still the error...so i would like to know how to get rid of this error and just make it load to the apple firmware at the moment.

THanks

That is not put out by the Rockbox team and is unsupported.  Being such, I do not know what its uninstall procedures are, but it sounds like it just deletes the rockbox.ipod and .rockbox folder.

And for the last time.  You have to replace the bootloader.  As you used that installer, I do not know if it saves the bootpartition.bin file or not, but if it does, you can replace the bootloader as shown in the manual as the uninstallation procedure.

For any other inquiries about this, PM the OP (original poster) in this thread as he made that installer: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=6757.0
